It is up to the class--if a lot of your classmates are living at the Heights like mine did, it'll be fine socially. I became very close friends with classmates because of our close proximity. The location is very convenient, and the bus picks you up right outside the complex.

I really enjoyed living at The Heights, mostly because almost half of the MMS program was living there and it was nice to be close to everyone and always be aware of when people are socializing by the pool or in someone's apartment. The pool/grill area is fantastic, but the gym is very small and could be better equipped. Overall, decent value and I would recommend staying here especially if you are in the MMS program.

The Heights is a trap. You end up living here because most of the class does and you pay more than Belmont (right across the street). Great for a social life, but management is terrible. Also, there are pointless gates for cars but not surrounding the entire property.

It looks nice and is pretty new. A bunch of MMS students lived here and it is convenient to Duke. Pool is nice. Definitely overpriced for what you get. Utilities should be included. Management is pretty lackluster; they fix things pretty quickly, but outside of that, they aren't very attentive to our needs. Things break in the clubhouse often and they take a while to get fixed. They find ways to "punish" students who live here by closing the pool for no good reason. Some of the employees that work in the office can be rude. Gates break pretty often and take a while to get fixed. If you have the money, go for it. It's really nice to live with other MMS'ers.

It's close to the campus, bus station is right in front of the main gate and it's pretty safe

Assistants at leasing office-could be nicer with warmer service;
Gym-could have more facilities

While the place is great with newer apartments and being close to campus, lacks on the social aspect for full time MBA students.

The apartment quality is very nice and the management is quick to respond to any maintenance needs . The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious. I love the fact that it is a 21+ community which helps keep away undergrads. The Duke bus comes right in front of the apartment. Fuqua is only a 10-15 minute walk. I really enjoy the convenience and peace that this place offers.

Pros: -Within walking distance from Duke and Kroger -Nice pool
-Friendly staff
Cons: -The price is a bit steep -Rent doesn't include any utilities
-The gym could be bigger and better equipped

Great space and pool- nice to live close to friends. Not much around.
